Flirting
on International Beer Day

Beer Day 2010 |

| How
will you celebrate? |

Many holidays have their flirtatious traditions, and
International Beer Day is no exception.
There are two main examples:
First, on International Beer Day if you'd
like some conversation to go with your beer, it is customary
to peel the label off your beer bottle (in one piece if you
can) and lay it next to your beer. By doing this you're telling
the people around you that it's ok to talk to you, and that
you don't bite.
Secondly, if you're single on International
Beer Day, it is traditional to wear some sort of white ornament.
White was chosen to match the frothy white head that is almost
universal among beers.
 •
For ladies it's customary to wear a white flower or white
ribbon in your hair.
• For gentlemen it's traditional
to wear a white bracelet.
(If you wear one of these items
out to celebrate on International Beer Day, you will probably
get flirted with, so if you'd rather just spend the evening
with your friends and your beer, you're best off skipping
the whole white ornament thing.)
And a word to the ladies:
International Beer Day is an equal opportunity holiday, so
if you see a cute guy with his label peeled and placed next
to his beer, go talk to him! After all, you can make the first
move too.
Please drink responsibly, be safe, and if
you happen to be getting lucky on International Beer Day,
be sure to use protection. |
